Note: for most years the website has existed
I've usually had one set of welcoming text that was altered to fit
the time. Hence a number of posts below contain similar text. I don't believe I have a complete collection
of posts but
will post those I can find.

Merry Christmas!

I hope it's as pleasant for you
as I hope it is for me, I hope it's a snowy one for once and I
hope that next year improves the lives of many good people I know
or have never met.

2014 has, for me, seen many roast
dinners and many pizzas so it's not been all bad, there's always
been a roof over my head and I've been kept warm when I needed to
be so I can't complain.

This Christmas will be spent
watching old movies, cartoons and multiple versions of both A
Christmas Carol and Miracle on 34th Street, pretty much
the same as every year.

Throw in a new 'Garfield' book or
two and a book of 'The Complete Peanuts' and I'm already feeling
warm and toasty.

I'll he listening to Christmas
CDs ranging from A Classic Christmas to Boney M to Seth
Macfarlane's Christmas album, newly bought, he has such a
fantastic voice that man. I'll be re-re-watching at least one of
his Family Guy Christmas specials too, most likely The
Road to the North Pole; for a series that's so anarchic, that
special still manages to get the point of Christmas over in its
unique way.

Chestnuts won't be roasting on
any open fire in my house but hopefully British Gas will still
flow to the old faithful fire and I'll be drinking much root beer
by it.

And so, as many people observe at
this time of year, hope the TV doesn't break down.

To you and yours.

30th March 2013:

Welcome to my Homepage, thanks for visiting in
times where the world wide internet web is dominated by Facebook,
Twitter, Amazon and Wikipedia.

There's some new jibber
jabber on the Doctor Who
pages in the first update for a while, and have I mentioned
Doctor Who in Time and Space yet? Hmm, wonder if it's been
mentioned on Wikipedia yet?

Gotta go, time to see what
everybody's up to on Facebook and Twitter.

19th December 2012:

Colin Anthony Harris - June 1936 to
December 2012

Now gone to see Mother

8th July 2012:

Recently I finally got
around to updating one part of this website, and it's the turn of
the Doctor Who pages this time. There are eleven new pages,
taking it to 27 pages in total so far. I've also spruced that site
up a little, re-named it, given it a new logo and introduced a
GuestBook. Well, why not?

New as of today are audio
interviews recorded in 2001 with Doctor Who Producers
Verity Lambert and Barry Letts. These can be found on Andrew
O'Day's pages at Andrew's Interview Page.

As for the existing
GuestBooks and Contact pages throughout the entire site, the chaps
I got these from decided not to support such pages anymore (as of
April 2012 apparently!) so I've had to get a new GuestBook set up.
This is why it's empty at the mo!!! Apologies if anybody's been
trying to get in touch since April, I only found out a little
while ago that this had happened (though I thought it had been
quiet recently).

14th January 2012:

Welcome to my Homepage.

This site details my
interests in art, graphic design, photography, filming and
editing. The main sections are:

MISFITS Archive
(the defunct Oxfordshire-based film group that I was a part of)

Welcome to my Homepage.

This site details my
interests in art, graphic design, photography, filming and
editing, but who's fussed about that, let's get into the Christmas
spirit instead. On the left is an uncommonly rare
sight of me with a glass of beer in hand; well, at Christmas you
tend to let your hair down a bit don't you.

Below are links to videos on
YouTube that are worth having a look at for Christmas. All are
good fun, full of charm and warmth. Now ain't that nice.

Have a Happy if frugal Christmas
and may the Christmas TV schedule be all that you wish for.

5th August 2011:

I haven't got a lot to report at
this time though (had three weeks or so with a bad foot - hardly
exciting stuff though), but in terms of the website I aim to do a
few things over the coming months:

Generally review all content
and adjust pages that are looking unfit for purpose.

Current TV / DVD viewings
include: Dragons Den, Torchwood (not so good this year), Abbott
and Costello, The Two Ronnies, My Name Is Earl, Outnumbered and
The Saint. They are all good.

With thanks to my niece
Megan for coming up with the name 'Timternet' which, frankly,
appealed to my ego.

18th June 2011:

It's been a varied and
interesting year so far, I've been doing less of that which I did,
and more of that which I didn't.

I haven't got a lot to report at
this time though, but in terms of the website I aim to do a few
things over the coming months:

Update my Doctor Who pages
(looking forward to that)

Longleat; a photo section of
this fantastic place.

Generally review all content
and adjust pages that are looking unfit for purpose.

Current TV / DVD viewings
include: The Pink Panther Show, The Apprentice,
Lead Balloon, God, The Devil and Bob, Planet of the
Apes and Hancock's Half Hour. They are all good.

22nd January 2011:

I finally finished the
Cyprus video in November and it came to around 2 hrs 10 minutes in
length. It was one I particularly liked myself but felt worn out
by the end of editing it. This has already had a knock on effect
for the other projects I have outstanding and am having a break
from virtually everything I was doing. At the moment watching DVDs
is currently my favourite past time although I have been helping
Andrew O'Day
with his web pages.

Current DVD viewings
include: Star Trek (the original series), Morecambe and Wise, The
Persuaders.

I've also been reading a few
old comics from the 1960s and 1970s, those are very relaxing to
read.

The only real amendment to
my own pages this month has been to place the MISFITS
section into a historical context; let's face it, we've all moved
on and there ain't gonna be any more productions so this needed to
be reflected.

Once this year settles down
and I've got into some kind of gear I'll post news of anything
useful that I'm up to.

14th November 2010:

This site details my
interests in art, graphic design, photography, filming and
editing, but who cares about that, it's time to celebrate
Christmas!

I hope this Christmas brings
you all that you hope for, all that you need and a nice
old-fashioned sense of goodwill to all men, women and others. In
having fun don't forget to feed the cat, drink sensibly and
remember what it's all about, whatever that is.

Enjoy the telly, turkey and
all the other festive fun, ho ho ho and all that, and here's to
those who will or won't receive a visit from the ghosts of
Christmas past, present and future.

I'm getting itchy feet at
the look of this website, it really needs to be brought into the
21st century: however, video editing is taking priority over this
website at the moment, and there's the possibility of a new
venture to come as well...

Progression on editing the
Cyprus video has taken place during the last two months...
It's been a busy year!

Time to quickly say farewell
to Norman Wisdom who passed away on Monday 4th October 2010.

4th August 2010:

I've gotten back into
editing after a fairly long gap and recently completed my first
edited project since December 2007. I'm now working on a Cyprus
wedding/holiday video which I started last year and which is way
behind schedule (I'd originally wanted it ready by last
Christmas). It's really starting to take shape now though,
although it may still be a few months before it's entirely ready.

I suspect my Longleat pages
that I'd intended to put up this year will now go up next year
because of the time I want to put into editing the Cyprus stuff
but we'll see.

Don't forget: series one of
The Phil Silvers Show (aka Bilko) will finally be
released during September. That will be good to see and will
likely see me taking a break from watching Friends (which
I've recently got back into - I'm on series 2 of that).

10th July 2010:

It's been a busy time since
April, what with producing new sections for this website, helping
people with their own website projects and also undertaking
editing requests. This, along with The World Cup (a pleasant, if
lacklustre diversion), has culminated in too few spare hours to
fit anything else in. Summink had to give and so the Longleat
section that I'd originally planned to publish this month has been
postponed until at least September. Facebook family and friends
have already had the chance to see the Longleat pictures as of 3rd
June.

The video I'm currently
editing is a wedding one and one that has to be ready by 4th
September at the very, very latest. I'm aiming to finish it by the
end of July but no two videos are the same so have cleared August
just in case editing time over runs. A look at my projects
schedule below gives an indication of the stuff that has backed
up, and indicates my reluctance in taking on any new requests for
further video projects at this time.

In other news: series one of
The Phil Silvers Show (aka Bilko) will finally be
released during September. That will be good to see and will
likely see me taking a break from watching Friends (which
I've recently got back into).

6th June 2010:

This month sees a new set of
Doctor Who pages posted to the site, it has a mixture of piccies
and ephemera relating to my favourite series of all time.
Contained within these pages are photos from 1983's Longleat
celebration of '20 Years Of A Timelord'.

In April I posted a new
section,
Oxford Gallery which contains
photos (this will get bigger over time).

Next month should see a
small-ish new section set around Longleat House and safari park,
with photos I took on 2nd June 2010. This is another section I
hope to expand on as time goes by. Facebook friends have already
had the chance to see these pictures as of 3rd June.

8th May 2010:

Last month I posted a new
section, Oxford Gallery, which took me two years to get around to,
it contains photos and like the other sections of the site will
get bigger over time.

Next month will see a new
set of Doctor Who pages which I've started working on, it'll have
a mixture of piccies and ephemera relating to my favourite series
of all time.

Finally out on DVD is my all-time favourite film 'Melody',
which has been released in widescreen Region 2 PAL. It's digitally
mastered and looks beautiful. Everybody should see this movie,
it's a feel-good film with humour and warmth. I first saw this
film as a kid and have loved it from that time. I can't recommend
it highly enough.

17th April 2010:

I've added a new section
this month, Oxford Gallery, which has taken me two years to get
around to, it contains photos and like the other sections of the
site will get bigger over time.

Also included as of this
time is a list of current / ongoing / future projects I'm
undertaking.

I've also started to
rearrange pages so they're hopefully more easy to navigate
through; this may take me a while.

20th March 2010:

Been a while since I last
tinkered with this page and with Easter/Summer/Christmas (delete
as applicable) fast approaching may not get much chance to do so
again for a while.

I've been editing a Cyprus
video (on and off) since 2009, it really is a mammoth task and I
doubt it'll be ready for a few months still. This will still be
small compared to the Portmeirion one that I'll (eventually) be
working on.

I'm impressed with 3D
technology at the moment though I still think it's early days: (at
the moment you get a sense of depth but not a sense of detail when
watching on the big screen). I can see technology moving rapidly
on his one and I wonder how long it'll be before audiences in
general will desert 2D images, kind of like how B/W has virtually
disappeared from mainstream TV due to colour.

What with HD, widescreen
and 3D, it's going to be hard for amateur film makers to keep up
and compete: when will the first weddings be filmed in 3D HD
Widescreen on a video camera bought from a high street store? It's
all exciting, but it's daunting. The next generation of film
makers will be better equipped (literally) to produce the amateur
films of the future.

I've stuck two pictures
from TV series 'Bewitched' on this page because I'm really
enjoying the series as lightweight bedtime viewing at the moment:
I'm on series 6 and it's as good now as when I was a kid. It's
also given me an appreciation of the art of Grandma Moses, some of
whose paintings are represented throughout the internet. She
depicts scenes of homely warm delight and are beautifully
realised.

4th November 2009:

Christmas is coming and I
suspect it will be more austere than usual this year for many
people, aka I'm not buying anyone any presents this year.

Therefore I've decided to
put some Christmassy items up on this page to while away the time
in-between parties charity work for orphans.
These items represent some personal nostalgia of Christmases gone
by. Soon be time for Easter Eggs.

4th August 2009:

I've put some fairly recent
photos of me on this page today to show a bit of what's been going
up on Facebook. I've also gone for a slight colour-scheme change
for this page.

In recent times I've been
exercising and cutting down on me intake of food and booze in an
attempt to lose weight. I've also changed glasses and am also
using contact lenses so in time there will hopefully be photos
reflecting these changes!

17th May 2009:

This humble little website has now been running for ten years and
grown from a few pages to over 100, with over 2000 photos. On 17th
March 1999, after humming and ah-ing over whether to create a site
or not, the plunge was finally taken to work out how to do it!
Starting with a mere 15mbs of web space (via Freeserve) I was very
constrained in what I could do. Leap forward to 2003 and I signed
up with another provider and had more than enough space from that
point. During the intervening years I had other web space provided
by Currantbun and Breathe but it was 2003 that saw the real
evolution of the website.

Starting back with a short 'This is a test message' on 17th May
1999, within a week I had posted a few pages with pictures and
text, mainly centred around the stuff I'd done with
Oxfordshire-based film group MISFITS. In 2001 I decided to add
stuff that reflected more of myself, and I also altered the colour
scheme from dark (like this homage page is) to a much lighter one.
Thanks to Broadband one was able to upload material much better
and faster. In 2003 I started adding loads of photos and after a
shaky start those pages finally became more popular. The hrvt.net
domain was born in 2004 but I did not make too much use of it at
first. Just as I had been about to take down most of the site in
late 2007 I realised that the stats suggested that the site had
been more popular than I had realised and this kick-started my
interest again.

With a great deal of material added during 2008, the site has been
seemingly more noticed and there has been an increase in
correspondence sent to me.

During the last year I've been teaching myself more of the
background knowledge of the software used for the internet and I
think this has also helped search engines find this website more
easily. More to come during the next year.

7th April 2009:

Well stone the crows and all that, I decided to cut
down on alcohol as of March and what happens? I get gout. Gout.
Very painful it is too, you ought to try it sometime. I haven't
therefore spent much time on anything other than taking
painkillers. Still, you get older, you gotta expect these things.

As of today I've joined
Twitter so if you wanna keep abreast of what I get up to feel free
to become a follower of myself: my profile page can be found by
clicking here.
Friends, family and complete strangers are all welcome.

Last month before the Great
Gout I posted a new page which centres on my joint-favourite film,
'The Wizard of Oz'. For years I'd said that 'Melody' is my
all-time favourite film but I have been ignoring just how much Oz
had meant to me. So, with that mistake rectified, the page has
been posted.

I'd like to thank Aleksandr Orlov for
bringing people / traffic to my website during the last month: a
couple of pictures can make a whole lotta difference to how many
people visit a website. So those piccies are staying on this page
for a while! Best wishes for to Compare The Meerkat.com Aleksandr.

Below are links to most of the pages of
this site. Next month: this website is 10 years old. Break out the
bubbly and celebrate this milestone.

8th February 2009:

Pixels or percentage? 10
years ago I went for percentage. Big mistake, not future proof.
For tables that is. The text you're looking at sits within a
table, and my website is full of tables, all meant to make
this website look interesting. For years this was fine, it was
fine when most PC monitors were 800x600 or 1024x768 screen
resolution: now there are so many screen resolutions that
percentage doesn't work all the time.

Table width percentage, the
percentage of the screen that I'd set the tables to, was 100%. Ha!
No good compadre. Soooo, I'm off to play with table pixel
width, meaning I have to convert all the tables on this website (5
or 6 hundred approx, ha ha haaaaa) from percentage to pixel.

Now, what pixel width to
use? 800 to take account of 800x600 resolution screens? Hmm, are
there that many around these days? Maybe, just maybe I can go for
a width that will work on 1024x768 screens but also for screens
that go up to 1600x1024 (widescreen!) resolution.

Looking at a
report produced by OneStat.com
during 2008, 800x600 resolution is much less popular than it used
to be (no, stick with me on this, this is really interesting,
honest) with just 18.23% of PCs set to that setting. 1024x768 is
the most popular screen resolution at 57.38%. The screen I'm
looking at now, 1280x800, is among only 1.56% of all PCs to use
this setting. But higher screen resolutions are on the increase
whilst lower screen resolutions are on the decrease.

Soooo, I'm going to re-work
the site to work on PCs with screen resolution 1024x768 or higher,
and that's going to take time, lots of time. I've started already,
this page is amongst the first to be converted.

Using a 1024x768 screen?
Hopefully you won't notice any difference. Using a higher screen
resolution than that? Then you will notice a difference,
everything will look tidier than it did, though there will be
borders at the sides of the pages.

In time to come I'll be
converting all the pages to the new format. In further time I'll
be converting all the pages again, because there will be new
screen resolutions to come, and this website will likely have to
go full widescreen. Ha ha haaaaa I can't wait.

Conversion = delay. I hear
the Oxford page that I've been working on since last June calling
out saying "Why hast thou forsaken me?" Actually it doesn't speak
like that, it doesn't speak at all if I'm honest, but it will be a
while before it appears because of the aformentioned stuff above.
That and other stuff. Drat.

If this exercise takes even
longer time to undertake than I think it will then it might be
wise for me to be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. Have a good one.

2nd January 2009:

Happy New Year? Hopefully!
New year, new website logo! On this page are a few photos taken
recently at Christmas time. Roll on Easter!

Plans for the year? The odd
DVD to edit (Mallorca), web pages to re-edit (Portmeirion amongst
others), and more web pages to create. The odd holiday thrown in,
hopefully this will be a good year.
